New York State of Mind

Some folks like to get away Take a holiday from the neighborhood Hop a flight to Miami Beach Or to Hollywood But I'm taking a Greyhound On the Hudson River line I'm in a New York State of mind I've seen all of those movie stars Fancy cars and limousines I've been high in the Rockies Or under the evergreens But I know what I'm needing And I don't wanna waste more time I'm in a NewYork state of mind It was so easy living day by day Out of touch with the rhythm and blues But now I need a little give and take The New York Times and the Daily News, oh Comes down to reality but it's fine with me 'Cause I've let it slide I don't care if it's China Town Or up on Riverside I don't have any reasons 'Cause I've left them all behind I'm in a New York State of mind I don't have any reasons I'm in a New York, oh I'm in a New- I'm in a New-, New York I'm in a New- I'm in a New-, New York I'm in a New- I'm in a New-, New York I'm in a New I'm in a New-, New York Say it, say it, say it I'm in a New- I'm in a New-, New York I'm in a New- I'm in a New-, ooh New York State of mind
